  Frutera del Pacífico P&T Frupa Ltd.

  May 2022 - now

  General Manager

  Developing Frutera del Pacífico as this small company starts its journey to export papayas from the Solo type. We are developing everything the company needs to thrive, from picking the right variety to plan the packhouse design, from developing the fertilization and pest control programs, installing the irrigation system, all the way to harvest.Based in Parrita, Costa Rica's Central Pacific region, the company is located in the best growing region for papayas due to the special soil and perfect balance between precipitation and sunlight, that makes the Central Pacific just perfect for papayas. We have started by supplying our local market very successfully for the last two years, our Solo Papayas have been accepted in Costa Rica as they represent innovation and differentiation from the current local varieties, its great taste is switching the preference away from the traditional papayas, and its convenient size is seen as an important Food Waste reducer, as is more a personal size that don't have to be stored at the refrigerator after taking the first portion, and wasting about 25% at the end of the week...The company goal is to start exports in January 2025, first export plantings are on the way to start this April.
